Re: Why are cigarettes legal, but marijuana illegal?

I honestly don't think pot is soo horrible, but america was founded on puritanical values (killing people = okay, nudity = satan), so assuming it'll be legal that soon is probably off target.

It would probably lead to a decrease in crime and massive increase in tax revenue (and ease hospitals and police depts), but humans are more emotional than logical and there's still a strong family values vote out there that'd be against it, citing increased vechile accidents due to pot (which would be true), etc. there's be a decrease in deaths associated with drug trafficking etc though that'd probably be greater though, and economically there's no strong arguement against it except for the lobbying of competing corporations (beer, tobacco, etc).
